A friend has a Vista computer and want to upgrade Internet Explorer.

When I try to upgrade its Internet Explorer to Version 9 (I think it's the version the most recent can be installed on Vista) it says something like "cannot install on this machine (or operating system).

Maybe it's because his computer has never been updated for SP1.  When I check the Windows page information does not indicate that he never had a service pack installed.  But when I check the updates of Windows it does not have a service pack update is necessary.  The only listed update is an update of Defender.

So, how I said for sure SP1 or 2 has been installed?  And if they are installed, why doesn't it let me install IE9 (or IE8)?

Hello

Click Start > right click on computer > left click on properties > see if you have Vista 32 bit or Vista 64-bit installed.

It will also tell you which SP you have installed.

Then, choose the download of 'bit' OK to use to install Service Packs, installation of SP1 first if it is not already installed.

Vista SP1 32-bit (x 86): http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30

Vista SP1 64-bit: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21299

  • A friend has two email addresses and want to change the default.

    A friend has an e-mail address main iCloud on his iPad, but does not know the password. We were able to remedy this and would like to change the e-mail addresses of the main one at the secondary level, which will make the default secondary image and the other main. In other words share the default email address now to make the secondary image by default, but always use the Mail app. The secondary address is Heaven who use Yahoo, so I use the drop-down list that appears in the settings and shows Outlook, Yahoo, etc, and select Yahoo, which Sky use themselves.

    She is an old lady who received his iPad by one of his own earlier, but which had not been deleted and no matter what, the settings are between the Member of the family. This lady is getting used to the use of Mail so prefer to stick with it, otherwise it will be the site of the sky and relearn how to Sky/Yahoo. I suggested to contact this member of the family, but I was told not to remember the password.

    I thought the reset of the iPad to remove anything to do with iCloud, but that has not worked. We went through iTunes and put his email address of sky (high school) there, he took, but that has not changed anything either. We managed to change its ID Apple logging in details to the new email address and password, then thought that the rest would be child's play, but no.

    Am I read and try to redo too to make the sky main e-mail address and a default? should I just use the menu drop down and select Yahoo?

    She doesn't have a clue on how to do these things, because it is very well a learner, this is why I am trying to help and think all this happened not knowing the password Apple ID.

    You are confusing two different issues. To change the default email in Mail and also talk with iCloud? While she may be the same as his Apple ID email address, the Apple ID itself does not affect the Mail application.

    Make Yahoo default email address and use iCloud are two totally different issues.

    So to answer the question of the Yahoo email to make the default account, you must ensure that it has been added to the iPad.

    Go to settings > Mail, Contacts, calendars > add account (unless the account is already here)

    Then scroll down on the same page and look for default account, type the following and change to any email address you want by default

    You can also delete unwanted emails in this same settings pane accounts by typing the address of unwanted e-mail and stitching remove account, or disconnection, if it's an iCloud account.

    If you did in fact change to iCloud account, the changes may not take effect until you log out, then back to the iCloud account.

    Hope this helps

  • Error - Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and must close in Internet Explorer & jump - rises in Windows Explorer.

    Original title: Windows/Internet Explorer / Data Execution Prevention.

    I constantly receive pop-ups Windows and/or Internet Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close. Windows Explorer in particular sometimes will do every few seconds.  I also sometimes have a debugger of Dr. Watson popup that blocks everything on my computer.

    I also get a pop-up Windows Data Execution Prevention indicating that Windows has closed this program to help protect my computer.

    My icons on the desktop this process will sometimes disappear.  I am able to restore in the Manager of tasks by clicking on the following:

    "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\Accessoires\Explorateur Explorer.lnk"

    I can't go online most of the time.  Sometimes I'm able to sneak in a "back door" by clicking on a link in an email, but time is limited (from five minutes to five hours) until I started offshore.

    Please notify.

    Are you going to provide the other requested information (requested) on your system and if not, why not?

    Did you run the scans listed in my previous post and if not, why not?  I am reluctant to work on weird problems with XP if MBAM and SAS have not been executed.

    So far, I never saw a Microsoft Support Engineer in these forums effectively resolve an error DEP in the 'right' way.  Sometimes, they have some things to try (how that works for you?), but you don't need methods to try, you will need to do things that solve your problem.

    I doubt that you have a memory problem or disk - which is not what causes the DEP errors.

    If you have made any exceptions DEP in XP to try and get your working papers, you must cancel all DEP exceptions to go forward.

    If I've ever seen Windows Explorer crashing and DEP errors, here's what I've done to understand what is happening:

    When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

    Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you
    install new software.

    Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

    If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

    First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

    Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

    ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

    After launching ShellExView, under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be pink, clear, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move the column Microsoft closer to the top, so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

    Click on the column header for "Microsoft" sort display (by clicking on the column of Microsoft) if all non-Microsoft extensions (all the 'Our') are on top and easy to see.

    Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

    You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.
    You can Google something like:

    Explorer XP crashing (you must fill in the name of add your suspect on).

    See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

    I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

    Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to behave, you will know that an extension of this group of 3-5 is the culprit in order to start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

    If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

    Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.

    Disable them one at a time until your right click on do not generate an error, then restart and test again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

    You can also just disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the condition.

    If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

    The hope is that you will find an extension that caused the error, and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

    I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

    If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

    If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.

    If complains in Internet Explorer, run Internet Explorer with no Add-ons and see if you still have the problem.

    If Internet Explorer then runs OK with no Add-ons, you can determine what add-on is the cause of the problem.

    Fortunately, Windows has a built in option to run Internet Explorer with no Add - ons (imagine that).

    To start Internet Explorer with no add-on, click on start, programs, System Tools, then choose:

    Internet Explorer (No Add-ons)

    If you can't find that, click Start, run and enter in the box (or copy/beyond the next line):

    "C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe"-extoff

    Click OK to start IE with no Add - ons.

    IE will launch with a message reminding you that it runs with no Add - ons and ask you to click on the button Home (do) and then you can visit the web pages where you might think that you will get a DEP error.  Pages may be different, but you want to see if you still get the DEP error message or not.  You can then activate the Add-ons one at a time until find you the one that is causing problems.

    I have a desktop computer with Vista business I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and install Vista on a laptop that has XP Pro but is Vista capable.

    Hello

    If you use the Vista licence as part of the upgrade to Windows 7 you cannot use the license of Vista anywhere elsewhere

    It is part of the upgrade process

    and also read this on licensing rules;

    If Windows was preinstalled on your computer, Dell, HP, etc., or you bought an OEM/license disk, they are both classified as an OEM license and are not transferable.

    The Windows OEM license is linked to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a retail Windows license, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    A single license is a single Installation.
